Disclaimer:I do not own Harry Potter.

So this chapter is short but I wanted to do it from Snape's point of view for the whole thing, and I ran out of things to write about.

I haven't had very many reviews lately. Remember I just want them so that I know that there is interest and so that I know that I'm going in the right direction.

Lastly, I have been on vacation. this week so I haven't started chapter six yet, it may be awhile before that comes out but I promise that I will work on it tomorrow.

Chapter 5

Severus Snape was teaching a of 5th years class with Lily Potter, down in the dungeons of Hogwarts. They work working together as a transition for the teachers. Suddenly he gasped in pain, but no one noticed but Lily. She excused herself from the student she was helping and stood at the podium in front of class.

"I believe Professor Snape has to leave now," Lily announced. Severus gave a curt nod, touching his arm to show that she was correct about the reason.

"Be safe," she murmured as he passed her.

After alerting the headmaster, the potions master strode down Hogsmeade into the woods to Apparate.

He entered the front gates of the Dark Palace, and went to the throne room like he always did to wait for instruction. Narcissa was waiting for him there. She took off without a word and hurried down the corridor. He followed silently.

Severus wondered if someone was hurt, as they were heading towards the infirmary. Narcissa pushed open the doors and stopped in front of a bed with a young girl in it.

"Who is this?" he inquired.

At that moment the Dark Lord appeared. "Fix my daughter or you will die." With that he left and strode to his study. The Dark Lord had a daughter? The war was going to take a turn for the worse if it didn't get done before she grew up.

Snape sent a questioning look at Narcissa, who explained, "The Dark Lord's daughter started screaming this morning, and now only stops when she passes out. She wakes up every half an hour and starts again." She continued, "Oh, and you should know, she has pain training mastered."

Severus gaped. Such a young girl had it mastered? He, himself had quit after the first day. He also realized how serious her ailment must be if she was passing out. He cast a few spells on her to find out what the symptoms were and set to work.

Three hours later he was stumped. He now knew that she had been getting potions yearly, and that they were causing a problem, but he needed to know what they were.

Severus crept nervously to the Dark Lord's study.

"My Lord, if I may, I need to ask for more information," He nearly whispered.

"What could you possibly need to know?" The Dark Lord snapped.

"I need to know what potions you have been giving her," Severus stated, burying his fear.

"I'll get you a list," the Dark Lord said. Severus nodded and turned to leave, "I expect no one will know about my daughter or her potions." Severus agreed out loud, but secretly he was planning to exploit this new piece of information. He felt relieved he was so good at Legilimency.

Later that day, Severus had finally found a cure to the girl's problem. He sat in the Dark Lord's office, explaining the issue.

"The potions that you have been giving her overloaded her system. Her body has reached the point that she will need to be physically and genetically altered."

A few years back the Dark Lord realized he would need to use muggle technology to win this war. He now had a great understanding of human science and requested that his followers do the same. He also was designing easy to use weapons that were a combination of magical offensive spells and muggle guns. He knew enough about genetics to know that this would be difficult and dangerous.

"How fast would we need to make the changes?" the Dark Lord inquired.

"She will be in pain until we do," Severus stated gravely. The two set to work on how to give the Dark Gem a stronger body.

Many days later they had come up with a solution. It required a ritual. The ritual had side effects though. She would have a monthly… explosion. Her magic would take control and wreck havoc on her and everyone around her. Her emotions would also be crazy... to say the least. The combination with muggle technology and the magic would create a storm within her that would be hard to tame.

The Dark Lord set up the runes and the needed magical elements. He set his daughter in the center of a giant triangle and began chanting. The triangle began to glow and the wind picked up. The light got so bright that Severus feared he would have permanent eye damage.

Finally it ended, leaving nothing but the girl laying on the floor, next to her father's feet. The Dark Lord picked her up and examined her carefully. All was fine, but her scar was bleeding. He quickly used a healing spell to stop it.

He called in the Malfoys to bring his daughter down to the infirmary. Then he turned to Severus.

"I want you to be her doctor, you know all of her conditions, and have extensive medical knowledge," Severus nodded, thinking of how he could exploit this to the Order.

"However I do not trust you. This poses a problem because I can not simply wipe your memory every time because that defeats the purpose. I created a spell a while back that will allow you to remember but not speak of it with anyone who doesn't know."

Before Severus could react, the spell had been cast on him.

"Go on now, leave me."

Severus scurried out of the Dark Palace.

He returned to the castle in which he worked and alerted the headmaster that he was back.

"Ah, Severus, there must have been a long mission for you to be gone so long, I presume?" Albus said.

"Yes he had m-" Severus stopped. His voice had just cut out on him. "He made m-" he tried again. Several times he tried to explain but he couldn't finish the sentence. Finally he said, "I cannot talk about what I was called in for."

Albus nodded in understanding. "Thank you Severus, I will get someone on breaking that spell, in the meantime, I believe you have a lot of papers to correct from your time away."

Severus groaned and started to make the trek back towards his office.

"Severus, you're back!" a voice squealed.

"Yes Lily, you can stop covering my classes now," he replied.

"Good because I don't know how to teach the next thing on your agenda," Lily breathed in relief. "Good night Severus,"
